there have been countless changes that have been inciting me to write and this month i add a good ol' J-O-B to my lineup. i'm officially off the job market and hired
i was lucky enough to be interviewing for at least once a week for an entire month before i made my decision. i was trying not to get discouraged when i wasn't quite finding the right fit...then i went into panic mode (errr desperation) and responded to everything that had an inkling of something enlightening and soon learned that it wasn't hopeless at all. soon enough, the perfect fit did come along and they sure did their diligence in woo-ing me. it felt so nice to be valued - something that's been missing in the workplace for AWHILE. just this week, several of those companies have called to revisit my interview and it felt great to politely decline.
it's been about three weeks since i've committed to an 80-mile commute by train. i've never quite woken up so early in my life and i've never enjoyed working so much. all this has driven me even more to finaly get my license and make that rite of passage. my license, possibly 2 more degrees, and a whole slew of certifications to fill my heart's content are what's in store to satiating my architect-self. i've already wrote to the licensing board on Guam to release my records to California and then i'm back on track.
that's exactly what my three-year detour felt like, a moment to get off-track. it was wonderful... i reconnected with old ties and made new ones to last a lifetime (including that of james' :))...and it's really really really good to be back in the sunshine state, and i mean that literally, figuratively, metaphorically, mentally...in every sense of the statement.
